Appeal No. 2005-1040 Page 5 Application No. 09/777,420 The examiner’s application of the teachings of Ewald provides no cure for the deficiency of Hall noted above. Accordingly, the rejection of claim 27 as being unpatentable over Hall in view of Ewald also cannot be sustained. CONCLUSION To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 1-23, 25, 27 and 28 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed. No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a). REVERSED JOHN P.
